With proper hosting and front end dev, Fineract is suitable to Credit Unions, Microfinance Institutions, Agent Banking solutions, Savings Associations, Building Societies, Cooperatives, small Commercial Banks, NeoBanks, and Direct Banking solutions.  Our vision is that these institutions may download and use directly, but perhaps more likely, to hire a provider or integrator to provide the complete solution to them. Our users are thus both the institutions where fineract is in place and the system integrators and vendors where fineract is a significant part of their offering. 

Is this Mifos? 

The Mifos Initiative, a 501c3 US Charity, contributed the code and remains involved with a wrapper and other systems that run "on top of" fineract.  Many of the developers are on both listservs. However, if you are looking for information on the latest mifos release, please proceed to: https://mifos.org/take-action/get-mifos/#download.  Please understand that devs at fineract may not respond to questions about mifos code.  

What is the difference between Fineract and Fineract-CN?

Where do I get the Pentaho Reports? 

Fineract does not ship Pentaho reports or the related libraries, due to compliance issues with Apache licence.  Please head over to the Mifos community who maintains distributions of Fineract that include pentaho.  

How do I set this up on my machine? 

First, are you a developer?  If you are not, then you may not want to run fineract on your local machine.  Instead you may want to find one of the demo environments already established or make use of one of the existing cloud deployments.  Also, fineract does not come with a native front end UX.  The UX is part of the distributions that are provided by third parties, including the aforementioned Mifos Community.
